Donny: Sounds like it may be worth a try. I'm guessing that the pullover bar/DB will touch the floor at the full extended position behind the head.

Might also remember that the complete stretch is very important in the pullover; straight or bent arm version. Probably a good idea to not have the bar/DB touch the floor at the fully extended position. So maybe raising the decline bench/board up from the floor a bit. Either way, pullovers are always worth the effort. Do what ever works the best for you. Good luck.

Side Bar: speaking of different versions of the pullover, there is the 180 degree pullover on the incline bench, which can affect the front delts strongly, as well as the lats. Start with the BB (usually) on the upper thighs and lift straight up and over to a full stretch position over/behind the head...lower the bar slowly and with control to the starting position again. Of course you can do that on a flat bench also. On the incline, the front delts will get more of a work load it seems. Old timers did these versions on a Half Moon bench, for chest size.

How did I just know that Funk51 would have a pic of the original Moon bench.....just because he would. Good to have photo's of the old time equipment, all part of BB'ing history.

Probably could try and mimic a Half Moon bench with one of those blowup exercises ball, but it wouldn't be the same. Think it would be good for the whole spine, as well as the rib box, with the stretch and flexibility from using one. There are foot straps on the one I have seen before, think so in the pic also.

With the 180 degree pullover on and incline, that incline should be raised to around 30 degrees or so, to be most effective. Good Luck..

I was schooled by a few old timers, as a teenagers back in '88-'89. Also was loaned a stack of the original Iron Man magazines (when it was a smaller size), going back to the 50's. Iron Man mag was usually right on. Think some of that advise was worth it's weight in gold.

All kinds of theory's and ideas back then, which the BB'ing vet's like to share with anyone who would listen. All interesting stuff. Made some of my better gains when doing the original 20 rep Breathing Squat protocol. It was hell on earth at first (I though I was in good football shape when I started it...not so) , but after getting adjusted to it (body & mind) produced some outstanding results.

Some of the diet habits were also a bit off the wall. Blenders seemed to be very popular back than, with anything from raw eggs, liver, cottage cheese, honey, milk powder, peanut butter, dates,etc or whatever else that came to mind thrown in. A gallon of whole or raw milk (on a bulking workout) was usually standard: sip the milk slowly throughout the day. Never chug-a-lug it. Never the less, I hold great respect for those pioneers, back in the day. Good Luck.
